when jim to franco called me up and said i saw what you were talking about, i saw a satellite dish on the side of the road, and the guy was in a van watching a football game. that struck me as may be a business that might make sense of some time, because i knew a lot of people, i knew there were online football games and maybe that would want to watch a football games. with the early -- you had the big 10 edition. that was the intriguing part of the business. ultimately the thing that intrigues me most was not the business itself but the fact that i did not know anything about the business, and neither did anybody else. really was the infancy of the big dish satellite business. there were maybe 1000 or 2000 consumer satellite dishes in the entire united states at that time. i felt like we could start at the beginning, starting gate and we could go as fast as anybody else could go. that was different than my experience when i worked at frito-lay, a division of pepsi. they did not need me. there were people that had been there 20 or 30 years a new lot more about making potato chips than

i have been more inspired by the work of jim baker and toward more of a realism and i think the next president and i think some of the mistakes that we have made have been generated through some ideology and haven't been steeped enough in maturity but i do believe that again at every level the united states needs to be engaged around the world and i would encourage the next president to use every degree of leverage that we have as a nation toward that end as it relates to the bipartisanship. and there is nothing that has come out of that committee under my chairmanship that wasn't strongly bipartisan and to me issues, our friendship and our relationship with israel and relationships with countries around the world it needs to be done in a bipartisan way. when you get to a place where it's breaking down along partisan lines you really framed the strength of the relationships that we have. so i would encourage the next president to certainly spend the bulk of his time on making sure that the united states is appropriately influencing the rest of the world. the fact is when problems ari

. >> i am in agreement with jim on this issue. it is not a popularity contest. i am not just saying that. i think one of the things so we try to do, building on the base that jim and his team have put in place, was to be sure that everything we were doing in public diplomacy was designed to support the achievement of those goals and objectives to be very clear and precise in doing that. there are many areas where we do -- where we have we find areas of common interest, science, technology. education, all those areas, even in countries where we have a difficult and challenging time, i have found that people were anxious to continue to have that conversation with us. we were constantly looking for ways, where are those avenues that are open that we can pursue. at the end of the day, to the extent we can expand and build mutual understanding between the people of our country and the people of countries around the world, we will be able to go down a more productive pat in the future. in the understatement of the morning, it is obviously very complicated. it is a com

we believe that welfare reform proposal is going to be introduced by eight congressmen named jim jordan from ohio in the months ahead, and some of the other ideas have been developed over time. for example, one senator actually offered a number of these tax ideas into hamilton did stimulus plan that got 36 or 37 votes, and some of the federalists, we're working with a group of interested members on the house side, and my guess is we will have four or five pieces of legislation they will introduce in the months ahead to reflect that kind of thinking. and there is more work that has to be done. the other thing that is important is the reform plus maybe in the mid-1990's in a lot of these areas, as much as we can foresee this and sustainability coming, it was still in the minds of most lawmakers, very theoretical and far off in the future. today, is that much closer. social security now is actually in the red, six or seven years i had a projections, and it could make it in about one two more years, but it will be in the red pretty much for the rest of our lifetimes. 15 years earlier, peopl

i will start with jim. >> the incident in ferguson has led to a discussion about whether it is proper to militarize the nation's police forces. i'm wondering if you see that as a factor regarding the police response in ferguson. and also, do you agree with the decision by the governor to send in the national guard? >> well, i think one of the great things about the united states has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement. that helps preserve our civil liberties. that helps ensure that the military is accountable to civilian direction. and that has to be preserved. after 9/11, i think understandably, a lot of folks saw local communities that were ill-equipped for potential catastrophic terrorist attack. and i think people in congress decided that we got to make sure that we get proper equipment to deal with the threats that historically would not arise in local communities. and some of that has been useful. some law enforcement did not have radios that they could operate effectively in the midst of a disaster. some communities neede
